Wow... standing tears, that's a pretty good metaphor. I'm gonna use it from now on, no just kidding. You've always got your way around with Imagery... and your style hasn't failed through this poem. Love the rhymescheme.. it relaly flows as well. *Sigh* that's how I feel right now... no, it's not emotioanl stress, it's school stress. I'm gonna break lol.
Good job!

Hope is a dangerous thing indeed, will it betray you to your death? I sure hope not, where else am I to find optimistic poems such as these written by you? -sarcasm taking over me-
I love the format, you take the reader from the first few lines from this great definition of hope just to degrade it down to reality, the small flicker of light that it is. So moving... hmm something tells me I shouldn't be so happy about a topic so angst like. Anyways, I quite enjoyed it despite the fact I disagree with it(as well as the quote I had placed at the beginning of my review) Hm Happy Holidays!

Hahah, I was thinking "Oh, it's an optimistic poem" when I read the title, but it's not really huh? It's rolling up, and then down, and then up again, and down. It's a fairly unique composition you've chosen.
*sigh* that's how I felt yesterday... Just dead, hopeless... Mainly because my math grade sucks, but you know...
I also liked the allusion to the previous poem you had at the bottom. "Racing on." *Sigh* and the imagery's great too. Even though it's not a specific sight, it lets your mind wander away... You can imagine practically anything.

ah! I love this poem. Hahah, i love all of them, it doesn't matter, but I like this one especially... I can't relate to it more lol. It's scary to think how quickly life is rushing passed you. Before you know it, it's all going to be gone... sad huh..
